Front sight adjusting tool

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2120094068

[quote] This is a front sight adjusting tool for the luger pistol. It fits both the Navy 6-inch and Artillery 8-inch front sights. This tool is one of those pictured in many luger reference books. Tool has only a capital letter M on the bottom. It is fully functional and has only light surface rust from storage. If you have ever tried to remove a front sight blade on a luger-you know how tough it is. Whether you are an advanced collector or a gunsmith, this tool will pay for itself once you use it.<hr></blockquote>

Hi Wes, It is a real quality tool... I have three different ones, similar to the one on ebay, One of them is marked with a M, just like the one in the ebay auction... one of them is for the smaller .30 muzzle band/sights of the 1900/1906 slim taper type... and the last one is for the standard P.08, this one has a brass tag on it that says (I think in German), "Removal is forbidden". All three are exactly the same mechanically... The bottom radius is different on the ones I have, and the one on ebay does not have the provision for attaching the tag...I have seen complete sets of the type that is on ebay, they are hard, if not impossible to find! Till...later....G.T. <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />

GT, I just finished three of the standard type P08 sight adjusting tools. I had a machinest make them for me. They work really well for adjusting sights on shooters. They look cool too and are a great addition for a collector or shooter. I never could find an original so thought , heck, I'll make me some!

Say, How are those Navy magazine bottoms coming? No hurry of course, probably pretty hot where you are!Thanks, Jerry Burney

Hi Jerry! You are correct!! It has been to hot to cook in the kitchen so to speak! I have the stocks skinned out, but have gotten no further.... It is nearly impossible to work in the heat down here in the S.W.... I will get going though, as I have several orders to fill! I hope all is well with you and yours! till....later.....G.T. <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />

GT, I know exactly where you are coming from. I lived many summers in Yuma and it is too hot to work outside. No hurry, but if you get a chance come on up to the Colorado Mountains! I have a spare bedroom. It was down to about 50 degrees last night. Jerry Burney
